Thank you, Mr. Chair. Actually, the issue of people in small communities accessing cancer screening is one of the priorities in our cancer strategies, which was finalized and tabled recently in the Assembly. We know the statistics show that the screening rates aren't as good as they should be. We actually are in the second year of a research project that we are doing in partnership with the community of Fort Good Hope and the University of Alberta, working directly with Fort Good Hope and people in Inuvik to try to figure out why that is happening and what we can do to work with communities to increase awareness to encourage people to access screening earlier. So this is a priority area for our cancer strategy and you will see more work on it as we roll it out. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
